Quote: What a mistake. Either restore it to original, or better yet to its original race configuration since its original motor's gone. There's even a good photo of it as a racecar for duplicating the lettering. After surviving this long, I'd think a car that rare & valuable deserves more respect.
I agree, but in the case of a 66 or 67 the original engine being MIA is not such a big deal since the VIN sequence was not stamped on them in those years, it may take a bit of searching but an acceptably dated replacement engine could be found and would be acceptable to most as "correct". In fact if it weren't already public knowledge, a properly dated block etc. could not be proven to be a replacment.
